The 18th annual rideathon
fundraiser for Horses Unlimit-
ed Incorporated (HUI) occurs
Aug. 25 in Sloat. All riders
must wear helmets and boots.
HUI, based in Cromberg, is
part of the Professional Asso-
ciation of Therapeutic Horse-
manship International (PATH
Intl.). The nonprofit group's
goal is "Ensuring excellence
and changing lives through
equine-assisted activities and
therapies."
In 1969 the program was
formed as the North American
Riding for the Handicapped
Association to promote
equine-assisted activities and
therapies for individuals with
special needs.
Locally, clients learn horse
skills such as grooming, sad-
dling, bridling and riding.
They also learn about letters,
colors, patterns, sequencing
and other life skills.
Students range in age from
preschool to adulthood. Some
participants have been in the
program since its inception 19
years ago.
HUI is currently a mobile
operation, operating out of the
Plumas-Sierra County Fair-
grounds. Clients come from
Sierra Valley, Loyalton and
Lake Almanor, but the majori-
